The First Lawsuit Against Fox For Misleading The Public On COVID-19 Has Been Filed In Seattle

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 33 seconds ago
Early into the pandemic-- with Trump endangering peoples' lives daily with his lies and misinformation-- I asked a few of the legal scholars I know if he could be sued by the the families of people who followed his false information and died. The answer was the same from each: nope. Fox News, on the other hand, is another story. There has been a great deal of chatter online about class action law suits against Fox for broadcasting a steady stream of coronavirus misinformation-- and not all of it from Trump. Last week, the *Seattle Times* published a piece by Sara Green about a S... more »

Haiqing Yu, Michael Keane at The National Interest - 2 minutes ago
*Haiqing Yu, Michael Keane* *Politics, Asia, China* The two faces of China's image-making.

Now, there is face saving required – as well as agenda-setting in the global power play. China played a decisive role in combating the invisible enemy. Chinese officials and academics are taking this opportunity to rescript the narrative and place China as the new world leader. In the quest for this leadership, China seems to be playing the game of “white face” (friendly face) ... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Reuters] An epic battle. *Key point: *Patton's tanks went toe-to-toe with the Nazis at the Battle of Arracourt. Here's how the fight went down.

Failed: How the Me-262 Jet Fighter Could Not Save Nazi Germany

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 2 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Image: Reuters] Not enough. *Key point: *The Nazis made many wonder weapons. However, these jets were not made early enough or in the numbers needed to turn the tide. The Germans knew the bombers were coming, and they prepared even as the U.S. 457th Bomber Group first assembled in the early morning sunlight over faraway London. That March 18, 1945, raid on Berlin included more than 1,220 Allied bombers and scores of North American P-51 Mustang fighters contending with heavy German flak and tangling with fast-flying German Messe... more »

Governments whose mission was to shrink the state, to cut taxes and borrowing and dismantle public services, are discovering that the market forces they fetishised cannot defend us from this crisis. The theory has been tested, and almost everywhere abandoned. It may not be true that there were no atheists in the trenches, but there are no neoliberals in a pandemic. The shift is even more interesting than it first appears. Power has migrated not just from private money to the state, but from both market and state to another place... more »

The tools used by the Federal Reserve and the central banks in the euro zone and Japan differ slightly but they mostly involve new, massive purchases of financial assets and cheap credit for banks and companies. At their core, they all revolve around one concept: gobbling up private and public debt, which has been growing for a long time and is bound to explode as the pandemic hampers borrowers’ ability to pay and bumps up government spending. Each central bank, albeit to varying degrees, is still paying lip service to the notions of independence from politics, a foundation of cen... more »

"Eventually You Understand..."

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 5 hours ago
"That's where it all begins. That's where we all get screwed big time as we grow up. They tell us to think, but they don't really mean it. They only want us to think within the boundaries they define. The moment you start thinking for yourself - really thinking - so many things stop making any sense. And if you keep thinking, the whole world just falls apart. Nothing makes sense anymore. All rules, traditions, expectations - they all start looking so fake, so made up. You want to just get rid of all this stuff and make things right. But the moment you say it, they tell you to shut u... more »

"He Who Joyfully Marches..."

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. " - Albert Einstein “We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. We humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. Humans keep each other in line. And they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different.” - David Icke
